I was willing to chalk a bland teaser up to post production woes, but this first "trailer" for 40K's Ultramarines animated 3D epic is anything but. What a pity too as it stars such great actors as Terence Stamp, Sean Pertwee and John Hurt.

I don't know, maybe I'm being to hard on this. What does everyone else think?

Hey fellas, I've been animating for years. This movie is being done by an under-the-radar company with little experience to go by, not by Paramount or 20th Cent. Fox. They dont have 20 million dollars or hollywood quality production staff. For a straight-to-DvD by this kind of company, this movie looks freakin increadible.
Jeeez. Talk about Jaded.

look this looks like Crap! and the music for the trailer isn't even fitting the trailer. There is no substance, the animation has that plastic look, there isn't any atmosphere, and it looks like the intro to some cheesy low budget game. I have seen CGI short films on CGI society that do a better job of VFX. Even Blender does a better job.

I liked it too. This is, after all, a straight to DVD release and not a major motion picture. It just has to be good enough to generate some interest in a live action movie (which is what I suspect its purpose to be, sort of like a demo reel).

It probably won't be great, but as a 40K fan, I'll buy a copy of the DVD just on principle. :-)
